Baseball season just ended, but we’re already really excited about the 2014 MLB season. Last week, the NYC PrePlay office and a few members of our Paris team headed to upstate New York to do some intense brainstorming of how the app and game will look next season. Now, we can’t tell you all about what we came up with, (where’s the fun in that?) but we can tell you we’re pretty excited about the advances and where the game is headed next year.

We had a nice friendly match of wiffle ball and soccer (while exercising our minds, might as well exercise the body too!) and in the spirit of the World Cup divided teams into French and Americans. In a golden goal finish, the Americans narrowly (literally the ball went off the post) took the game.

It was a great day and we’re really excited for what’s to come with MLB PrePlay during the next year and we’re confident you’ll be excited too! Stay tuned, only 136 days until Opening Day!

If you can believe it, it’s November! There are only a few weeks left of the regular season and there’s already tons of speculation as to who will be playing in the coveted BCS Championship Game. While the top four teams seem pretty stable at this point, anything can happen with big conference and rivalry games in the upcoming weeks.

Let’s take a look at what’s on tap for this weekend in CBS Sports PrePlay:

With the first round of the BCS rankings out, it’s crazy to think we are nearing the last few weeks of the season. We saw some teams fall, hard, from the rankings (Louisville, Texas A&M, South Carolina, Georgia) and a few make some major moves up in the poll (Missouri, Auburn). It’s hard to know where exactly teams well land at the end of the year, but now that the upsets have started becoming a weekly occurrence in the Top 25, it’s sure fun to watch and see what predictions will come to fruition this season.

This week, there are some great match-ups around the leagues that we’re particularly excited for.

Big 12: No. 10 Texas Tech vs. No. 15 Oklahoma

Pac 12: No. 12 UCLA vs. No. 3 Oregon

Big Ten: Penn State vs. No. 4 Ohio State

SEC: No. 21 South Carolina vs. No. 5 Missouri

We’re used to seeing some high caliber SEC teams, but I think Missouri has most definitely been a surprise to most SEC East schools/fans this year and it will be very interesting to see how they fair vs. the Gamecocks this weekend. Penn State and Ohio State have always had some exciting games throughout their long history, and after PSU’s impressive win over Michigan plus having a bye week to prepare for the Buckeyes, it could turn out to be another great game between these Big Ten rivals.

Well, we finally saw some upsets last week, and we’re betting there’s a lot more to come this season. We saw a beaten up Georgia fall to Missouri, Texas beat Oklahoma, Stanford fall to Utah (who would have called that?!), Northwestern get trounced by Wisconsin, and Michigan lose a whirlwind of a game at Penn State. The upsets created a slight shuffle to the Top 25 and should make for an interesting week of games.

ACC on the Rise?

Two teams from the ACC are in the top five, and no, and believe it or not we aren’t talking about basketball. No. 5 Florida State heads visits No. 3 Clemson for the first top five match up of two ACC teams in eight years! The U, or Miami, has also been on the rise this season and has earned the No. 10 spot in this week’s rankings.

Can you believe we’re already seven weeks into the college football season? There haven’t been too many big surprises yet, but there’s more than enough time for some colossal upsets to shake up the rankings.

This week, we’ve got a great spread of games across the major conferences for you to PrePlay. You can start earning CFB points early this week with two Thursday games with Rutgers vs. Louisville and San Diego State vs. Air Force.

Saturday we’ll start the day off with the Red River Rivalry Game between Oklahoma and Texas at noon. This is always a huge game, even though we’ve yet to see Texas impress us yet this season. Nonetheless, rivalry games can make rankings irrelevant and can come down to who wants it more. This could be a huge win for Texas and a boost to their morale for the rest of the season if they can pull off an upset over No. 12 Oklahoma.
